The Mako robot, specifically the Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery System, is a surgical technology used primarily in orthopedic procedures, particularly for knee and hip replacements. Developed by Stryker Corporation, the Mako system combines pre-operative planning software with a robotic arm that assists surgeons during the operation.

The system allows for more precise and customized placement of implants by using a three-dimensional virtual model of the patient's anatomy. Surgeons can plan the surgery in advance by mapping out the optimal implant size, alignment, and placement based on the patient's unique anatomy. During the procedure, the surgeon guides the robotic arm to execute the pre-planned cuts and adjustments with enhanced precision.

Bursitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the bursae, which are small fluid-filled sacs located throughout the body, typically near joints. Bursae serve to cushion and reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles. When these bursae become inflamed, usually due to repetitive movements, overuse, or direct trauma, it can result in pain, swelling, and limited movement in the affected joint. Common areas where bursitis occurs include the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. In some cases, corticosteroid injections or aspiration of the bursa fluid may be necessary for symptom relief, Dr. Nelson is very experienced with bursitis and can help you treat it and its side effects!

Orthopaedics is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Orthopaedic specialists, known as orthopedic surgeons or orthopedists, employ various non-surgical and surgical techniques to manage a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, such as fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, congenital deformities, and spinal disorders. Their goal is to restore function, mobility, and quality of life for patients through personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's unique needs.

🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Ready for some orthopaedic perks? Walking or running isn't just cardio; it's great for your bones and joints too! Here's why:

1. Stronger Bones: Weight-bearing activities like walking or running helps maintain bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

2. Joint Health: Regular movement lubricates joints, promoting cartilage health and reducing stiffness.

3. Muscle Strength: Walking or running engages muscles around joints, providing stability and support, which can prevent injuries.

4. Improved Posture: These activities strengthen core muscles, helping to maintain proper posture and reduce strain on joints.

5. Mental Well-being: Exercise releases endorphins, boosting mood and reducing stress, which indirectly supports orthopedic health.

As an orthopedic surgeon, I've seen firsthand the impact that posture can have on our overall health. Whether you're sitting at your desk, standing in line, or even scrolling through your phone, maintaining good posture is key to preventing aches, pains, and potential long-term issues.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1️⃣ Sit up straight: Make sure your back is aligned against the chair, and your feet are flat on the floor. Avoid slouching or leaning forward excessively.

2️⃣ Keep your shoulders back and relaxed: Try not to hunch forward, as this can strain your neck and shoulders.

3️⃣ Engage your core muscles: Strengthening your core can provide support to your spine and help you maintain proper posture throughout the day.

4️⃣ Take breaks and stretch: If you're sitting for long periods, be sure to stand up, stretch, and walk around every hour or so to prevent stiffness and improve circulation.

Good posture isn't just about looking confident – it's about taking care of your body from the inside out. Small adjustments can make a big difference in how you feel both now and in the future. Let's prioritize our spine health together!
